A California native, Kathleen Maley has been making jewelry and art objects in San Francisco for over 15 years. Kathleen studied jewelry and metalsmithing at San Diego State University and has traveled all over the country to exhibit her work. Working in her Mission District studio, Kathleen creates jewelry that balances the contrast between sterling silver and high karat gold vermeil, and fuses the dramatic palette of pressed glass with the luster of precious metals. Each piece of jewelry is constructed by had from silver sheet and wire, soldered and formed using a mallet and mandrels.
